Vintage News | Immortal Beauty in DesignPhiladelphia

As part of the DesignPhiladelphia festival, an annual citywide celebration of design and creative activity, curator Clare Sauro will give an exclusive guided tour of Immortal Beauty: Highlights from the Robert & Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection on October 15. Immortal Beauty is the Collection's first-ever large-scale retrospective, offering a remarkable overview of more than 250 years of fashion change. The show, which is on display in the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery through December 12, spans from Renaissance textiles and French couture to contemporary couture pieces by Philadelphia natives James Galanos and Ralph Rucci, in addition to showcasing garments worn by noted women of style, such as American socialite and style icon Babe Paley and Princess Grace of Monaco.
